Crunchy Air Fryer Broccoli Bites

Our air fryer broccoli bites are a quick and easy way to get your daily dose of vegetables. They're crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with flavor. Plus, they're a great way to use up leftover broccoli.

Broccoli bites are a relatively new invention, but they've quickly become a popular snack food. They're easy to make, portable, and can be customized to your taste. Our version of air fryer broccoli bites is inspired by the classic oven-roasted broccoli, but with a few key differences. First, we use an air fryer instead of an oven, which results in a crispier exterior. Second, we add a few simple seasonings to enhance the flavor of the broccoli. The result is a delicious and healthy snack that you can enjoy guilt-free.

Why It Works

• The air fryer circulates hot air around the food, which results in a crispy exterior and a tender interior.
• The olive oil helps to coat the broccoli and prevent it from drying out.
• The garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper add flavor to the broccoli.
• Shaking the basket halfway through cooking ensures that the broccoli cooks evenly.
